However, I grew very weary of updates (especially kernel updates) breaking things like wireless and VMWare Player. I couldn't get VMWare Player (4 or 5) running under Fedora 17 no matter what I did. (Before someone flames me about not using VirtualBox, I need VMWare Player for the classes I teach). <br><br>Two weeks ago, I finally had enough. I downloaded Ubuntu 12.04 and used it to blow away my Fedora partition, and star from scratch. Within two hours I had a fully functional system with all my data (email accounts and Google Calendar in Evolution) and applications installed. <br><br>I was feeling pretty happy until VMWare player started complaining that I didn't have enough swap space for it to run optimally. So, I downloaded System Rescue CD, and used GParted to decrease my ext4 partition, and increase my swap space. Viola! Ununtu booted right back up and now VMWare Player doesen't complain anymore.<br><br>I'm still getting used to Unity. I think I'll give it a few more days before I start installing other GUIs. <br><br>At any rate, the last time I used Ubuntu was about 4 years or so ago, when I messed around with Ubuntu Studio a little bit. I must admit, I am pretty impressed with how far it has come.<br><br><JC><br></div></body></html>
